List of IOC country codes

The IOC country codes are three-letter country codes allocated by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) to all National Olympic Committees and other groups competing in the Olympic Games. For historical reasons, many of these are different from the standard ISO 3166-1 alpha-3 codes.
